Yes we can agree that both parties gerrymander when they get the chance. The difference is that when Repubs do it they can find judge who will declare the Repub redistricting unconstitutional (ie PA)Quote:
Repubs redraw boundaries -- Illinois, in Chicago, on Native American reservations, wherever there are large groups of people who tend to vote Dem.
A single district judge over ruled Trump's asylum decision . This is just a game of prevent defense because they know if the case went to SCOTUS it would be smacked down, .A district judge does not have the constitutional authority for national security that POTUS has.
He has the authority to stay the order pending oral arguments which he did. His job is to rule on the legality of the Dufus's proclamation, which he will, and the dufus can appeal to a higher court if it's struck down. That's how the process works. Meanwhile the dufus has submitted his answers to Mueller's question and thinks it's over, while the dufus kids have started scandals of their own over emails of all things, and we still have that spy guy for the dufus at Justice, so it's a very interesting holiday season coming up.

Hard to believe that Ivanka Trump was that stupid. She is now on the level of HC, and that is far from a compliment. Her only plea is that, unlike HC, she did not erase half of the emails and then say, with a straight face, "Trust me. None of those emails had any useful information on them."
She should have no problem turning them over for scrutiny then. Trust but VERIFY. Yeah pretty stupid to be embroiled in this kind of thing after all the campaign rhetoric and chanting by daddy dufus and his sycophants. The dufus promised to prosecute HC over this, and still wants too. She may not be the only family member to get caught up in this either.

No, the problem with HC was the destruction of evidence in erasing the hard drive. IT has not done that. But it was still an amazingly dumb thing to do.Quote:
prosecute HC over this
Totally agree with that. I also think she has withered unrelenting attacks from enemies and critics for decades, some deserved, some not so deserved,
Her policies though fit my ideas of how government and America should be run. No secret there.

I can understand her protecting her privacy, and family, against hyper partisans.
I sometimes wonder what is the point of having a president if no one does what he says
The dufus ior any president is but a third of the government and if now that the feckless house sycophants have lost power maybe we can get some CONSENSUS going.
Like the consensus that did NOT exist during Obama's first two years??Quote:

not quite .It has been established already that many government operatives have violated the ban on the use of private email . Combined they all pale to setting up an unsecured private server to conduct State Dept business. Whatever Ivanka emailed can be retrieved from the primary server . Evita's server was scrubbed ;and the only record of her emails are what can be found on recipient accounts (like Carlos Danger's )Quote:

Have you seen the garbage that Bill Maher has been saying about Stan Lee's passing ? Stan Lee's characters and stories will live on in American Mythology along with tales like Paul Bunyan ,John Henry ,and Johnny Apple Seed . He is right up there with Walt Disney in terms of cultural influence.
Bill Maher will be a sniveling snarky blip in our history . He will has already passed on to irrelevance .
Trump's reaction is disgusting . In the world of Realpolitik ,transactional relations with rogues are something you do, and not talk/tweet about ;and you certainly don't pat yourself on back for it.
Bill Maher was right! Batman and Superman started in the 30's and are still around, as will The Marvel Universe, as a part of American folklore. I don't see Johnny blowing up the movie theaters.
This gets worse as we still have a few years to go maybe more with the dufus circus.Quote:

Sorry Tom I misread your post, and obviously misunderstood Maher's closing monologue about Stan Lee.
Comics are for those who can't read without pictures, obviously Lee found that huge, untapped audienceQuote:

I read comics because I appreciate the art work and the story lines.
Scripture tells us there is a time for putting aside childish things, but Stan Lee resurrected this world of myth. I have no need of modern day gods anymore than I had need of ancient ones, as for the yowie, that is a stone age mythQuote:

Yeah that's a tear in my eyes folks!
My parents and grandparents read comics to me before my nap times. It was one of the ways I learned early how to read and learned about characters interacting with each other and their environment. Rabbit hunter Elmer Fudd hunting Bugs Bunny, Uncle Scrooge swimming in his wealth, cowboys and bad guys, and the good vs. evil in superhero comics. Lessons about life.

tell me which President hasn't sucked up to a ME tyrant ? Please ! The emperor was sending plane loads of cash to the 12ers in Tehran to appease them.
That's what conservatives and repubs like to say, but we all know it was there money frozen in US banks because of sanctions. It was returned after the nuclear deal. You know that Tom, so why join the right wing holler machine?
I would've diverted all the funds to the Green Movement . But the emperor turned his back on them in his quest to make Iran the regional hegemon and to "negotiate " a nuclear deal that the 12ers violated before the ink was dry . Don't deny it .
What is this obscession with Iran, OK they escaped the US hegemon and upset your regional foreign policy but you should get used to it because others will do the same. All nations should be free to pursue their national interests as long as it doesn't lead to war. The Chinese have thumbed their nose at you and will do what they want to despite your threats. Russia will do the same

Manafort violates plea deal.
https://www.marketwatch.com/story/pa...hp_minor_pos19
Manafort and Papadopoulos are small potatoes .Quote:
The Russian action is worrying but it is a local issue, what Manafort does is of little consequence, we should look upon Meuller as past tense now
Manafort is a career international criminal with deep ties to powerful Russians and mobsters. I would lie to Mueller too, if asked about anything to do with Russia since no place is safe from Vlad The Impaler, not even a secure prison!
About Vlad, his taking control of the seas is no surprise since he already controls the land, and its clearly an expansion of Russian authority.
We are now supposed to believe that Manafort went to see Julian Assange 3 times to coordinate the release of the hacked emails of the DNC ;and no one knew about it until now .
Vlad knew, he is the one who stole them... DUH!
Vlad certainly knew .Podesta's and Evita's emails were an open book for a novice hacker ;let alone Wikileaks . .If Manafort went to see him it is easily verifiable and CNN would've reported about it months ago.I’m sure the deal is that Manafort has to lie and say the info came from the Russians, and then to Assange; and not from the DNC (ie Seth Rich...but as Evita says "dead men tell no tales "). If he does that, he gets a sweetheart deal on his sentence.If he doesn’t, he spends the rest of his life in prison, is bankrupted, along with the rests of his family.That’s called Justice, in the Land of the swamp.Trump must declassify everything before Mueller's final report .
Can't wait to read that FINAL report
